All BOMs

This introduction packet includes everything you will need to begin working on the "Stars for a New Day" block of the month quilt. From fabric requirements, color selections, as well as a paper piecing tutorial, Sue has thought of everything to make this a fun and rewarding project for you to cherish.

Join us on our new 12-month journey through the stars as we bring you a fabulous quilt designed especially for TQS by Sue Garman. A spectacular medallion quilt that radiates with a center block set on point. This month Sue will teach you how to master the ever elusive "feathered star". Have you always been intimidated by this block? No worries, Sue is providing clear and concise paper piecing directions to aid in sewing this spectacular beginning of a year-long project you are sure to enjoy. Come and join in the fun.

You made it through the feathered star. Congratulations! This month Sue's homework includes setting the star on point as well as adding four patch and floater borders. Floater borders add a great bit of accent while allowing the four-patch units to fit perfectly. And last but not least, you will begin the first of many saw tooth star blocks that will come into play later this year. This is a long list of things to do, but remember to take it slowly and pace yourself.

Join Sue Garman as she teaches you how to make this border of spinning colorful pinwheels. Using the paper piecing patterns provided, you will have this stunning border finished in no time. And don't forget to continue making the sawtooth stars that will come into play later.

This month-and the next five months-you will make four different border stars, along with eight more saw tooth stars. You will not be adding these border stars to your quilt center until you have made them all. Take care when making all of these stars; accuracy now makes the work much easier later on!

This month Sue keeps you on track by continuing to make border stars and sawtooth stars. Don't get discouraged once all of the elements of this stunning quilt come together, you will see that it was worth it.

This month Sue has you continuing to make stars for the inner star border. It will be a beautiful addition, once you finish making all of the blocks, so keep up the good work. To view quilt blocks by TQS members be sure to visit Show and Tell here. You are sure to be inspired to stay on task after seeing what others have been creating.

It's July and if you have been doing your homework, you are now halfway through this fun and colorful quilt. You should be proud of yourself for staying on task as you continue to make border and saw tooth stars. The quilt you are creating is sure to become a family favorite. Keep up the good work.

Can you imagine what your next border will look like? After you finish this month's set of blocks, you will be nearly done with the blocks for the first star border. Be patient! The end reward will be one that you will be very proud of.

This month, designer Sue Garman has you working to complete the last sets of stars for your Block of the Month quilt. You've made it this far so keep on stitching! Next month you'll put those stars together and attach a new border to your quilt top. Hooray!! Your quilt will begin growing again!
